Jose Ramirez Medina

I’ve been a welder since early 2020, going into my sixth year in the trade. I have about three years of experience in TIG welding, focusing mainly on stainless steel in food plants and food processing facilities.

I’ve worked on projects in multiple food plants, including Bolthouse, Royal Wine, Grimway, Del Monte, U.S. Cold Storage, Dreyer’s, Sunny Gem, and Wonderful Citrus. These projects have ranged from small repairs to large installations, including:

• Sanitary pipe lines
• Chute installations
• Conveyor installations
• Product shakers
• Tetra Pak machine assembly
• Catwalks and platforms
• Welding of sanitary tubing in sizes 1”, 2”, 3”, 4”, and 5”

All of this work has been 100% stainless TIG welding.

I’ve also traveled out of state for projects in Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Nevada. These included work in lettuce plants, ice cream plants, and city wastewater treatment plants.

I bring several years of hands-on experience and training. I was trained by a technician from Orbitalum and know how to operate the Smart Orbitalum orbital welder, specifically for stainless steel sanitary tube lines.

Additionally, I’ve worked in quarries and welded in extreme conditions—from heights of 200 feet to underground locations. I hold multiple safety certifications and have performed work inside stainless tanks, including operating inside them and troubleshooting internal issues.

My skills are advanced, but I’m constantly learning and growing in this field every day.
